Who is the Intersessor? - Mary?
Mother of God? - Really such a thing in the Bible?
Queen of Heaven? - Such a thing in the Bible?
The Pope? - Such a position in the Bible?
Purgatory? - Is there such a place?
Eucharist? - what?
and so on....
These are talked about in the the "extra" books. I read about that
from christiananswers.com and I borrowed a bible from my catholic
relative.
About different versions of Bible.
Apart from the few "extra" books mentioned, there were also
numerous (alot) verses that were either added or removed for the
benefit of the Vatican. Exodus 20 is the most classic example. We
know that the Ten Commandments are mentioned twice in the Old
Testament. Once in Exodus and once in Deuteronomy. Ten Commandments
in both Books are the same. But wait a minute, it is different in
the Roman Catholic Bible. The 2nd Commandment was strangely removed
from Exodus 20. Now, in the Roman Catholics Catechesim materials,
to teach new belivers of the fundamental beliefs, - when it comes
to the Ten Commandment ONLY Exodus 20 is taught.
So whats the 2nd Commandment? This:
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of
any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth.'' Exodus 20:4
Now you can see why.
Thanx for mentioning that, as I did not know that till know. Glad I
could learn something new.
Guest006 also mentioned:
It is more about christians having a visual images of their Lord's
sacrifice. Just as the differnt books of the bible were written for
differnt purposes, this movie has its own purpose.
This hit Exodus 20 right on the bull'seye. Do consider this verse
in the Bible,
"Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have
believed. " John 20:29
This is a point somewhat similar to christian merchandise. I'm
not going into detail here, but I think as long as christians dont
worship the movie or place too much importance in it then it is ok
to make a movie. Maybe some people can understand better visually,
meaning to say that they "read" the bible through watching instead
of reading or audio.
The purpose of the movie is what we are contesting here.
Some argue that its for evangelical, some other argue just for
monetary gain. I think it is much more profound and Guest006
correctly pointed them out in his posting.
I agree. There are profound things that we may not be able to
understandd till it is revealed to us in heaven. Btw, I'm a "her".
